A cold front has been slowly sagging southward toward us, and along and ahead of it there are shortwaves enhancing the moisture advection and rainfall. This pattern is with us through the day and into the evening.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx

We definitely have been needing the rain, but this morning has been too much of a good thing. Moderate to heavy rain is moving across the area creating concerns for localized flooding and flash flooding.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx

What will we get behind that front and after the 🌧️ has moved on?

More fall like weather! Highs will be in the 70s with overnight lows in the 50s. Give you a chance to give the ac a rest.

It’s a waterlogged night following a wet & gloomy #Monday. However, this 🌧️ is much needed, and it will continue steadily into tomorrow with a front sagging into the area and shortwaves traveling along it to enhance 🌧️.

#Erin is not going to make landfall on the US, however it is so large that it will deal a glancing blow to the Outer Banks while also bringing rough seas and rip tide threats all along the coast.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx #ncwx #tropics #tropicalwx

#Erin is back up to 110 mph with a pressure of 943 millibars.

After undergoing a significant disruption to its structure due to wind shear, #HurricaneErin is back on the mend and is expansive.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx #ncwx #tropics #tropicalwx

Strong storms have really exploded over the eastern part of Jefferson County with torrential rainfall and frequent, dangerous, cloud-to-ground lightning and gusty winds up to 50 mph possible.

If #HurricaneErin wasn’t evidence enough, here’s more the #CapeVerde Machine is running. More hurricanes in the Atlantic can be expected in the coming 10-14 days, as we’re approaching peak season.

#HurricaneErin looking ferocious from the San Juan radar.

Rain chances will return on Tuesday night and for the rest of the week, which will bring highs down slightly into the low 90s and upper 80s, but with the high humidity, head indices will be soaring.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx

We do have some rain chances tonight into tomorrow and tomorrow night, but that won’t be much relief.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx

Back home, you don’t need me to tell you it’s been hot and humid. Today continues a stretch of days through Tuesday with highs expected in the mid to upper 90s, and there’s little relief in sight, as well.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx

That said, I have had a little time to look at the weather, but not much time to produce posts.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx

I’ve been quiet on here, lately, as I’ve been working on getting my residence prepared for much needed rennovations. Add to that the air conditioner has gone out, and arranging repairs has been…interesting.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx

#HurricaneErin has become the first hurricane this season, and it has reached #Category5 status amidst an all too familiar rapid intensification process.

It’s packing 160 mph winds with a pressure of 917 mb!

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx #tropicalwx

Strong storms are pushing in from the north. There is a SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING to our northwest for the potential of 60 mph winds. There is the possibility we could see other parts of this line go severe.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx

Radar estimating as much as 6”-per-hour rainfall rates.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx

This just exploded to life in the moisture rich atmosphere over the Metro.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx

Rainfall rates coulf exceed 2” per hour at times in some ⛈️s.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx

A line of heavy ⛈️s is moving into the Metro. This will be training over areas that have already received excessive 🌧️, and Flash Flooding is very likely across the area, this afternoon.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx

The wave of 🌧️s & ⛈️s surged in, stalled out, and is now abating in an atmosphere that’s mostly been tapped of available energy. It did provide heavier rainfall over areas that missed out on the earlier round of ⛈️s.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx

However, another wave of heavy rain and storms is pushing in from the west.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx

The showers and storms that anchored over J-town are abating.

#FallsCityWx #FCWx #502wx #lmkwx #i65wx #wx #kywx #inwx

J-town, you’re under a FLASH FLOOD WARNING!
